Well this month, the phrase 'hot cakes' comes to mind !  From death row at the SPA to a fabulous loving home, our Cassie is one happy dog, although the look she gave me as she was taken off broke my heart - "traitor" her eyes said.  Foster is as happy as he could possibly be and we have had some super photos.  Elliot is just waiting for his new owners to get back from the UK to start his new life and Benjy has moved to friends of ours just five minutes away where he is having a great time with Salbags.  It's proved to be third time lucky for Evie -  phew ! - and gentle Diana will be on her way to Pau next week.
 
So, you may think that Poorpaws is nearly empty, not so!  More waiting to come in to join those not yet adopted and the dozen or so who never will be due to age or problems.  Scroll on !!
  
This is the lovely Belle.  A four year old border collie who sadly is a victim of a divorce.  A really good natured dog, Belle is vaccinated and chipped, great with kids but, sadly, a cat chaser !!  Still, there must be someone out there who wants a super dog who will keep cats out of the garden!

 

 

  
PHOTO TO FOLLOW.... We have been asked to help to find homes for ten (yes
ten!!) Newfoundland TerrierX pups.  'Newfie' lovers will know these are biggies! Dad was a passing handsome stranger who passed on even quicker when he realised the results of his wooing!!  They are still very young, only a week or so, so will be ready to move on mid to end August.

 

 

  
This is Stig, who went on a long journey alone - or was perhaps forced to - and turned up at a house where although he was welcomed and looked after, there I not enough pace for him to stay.  About a year old, poor Stig's sore feet are healingn ncely and he I now looking for a permanent home.  Fine with all animals and children, reports are that Stig would make a lovely pet.

 

  
Prettier than this would be difficult!!  A  whippet /dalmationx under a year old, found in a heartbreaking condition, this young lady has proved to be a delight. Fine with other dogs and cats (!) she is at the moment with the kind person who found her.  Give Poorpaws a call and we'll put you in touch.

 

 

  
Hallo I'm Fella !  I'm just your average cool five month old cute mongrel pup trying to learn as much as I can in as short a time as possible.  There are lots of dogs here at Poorpaws teaching me how to behave but a chap does make some mistakes.  For example, I know it is not acceptable to poo in the house but I didn't know it isn't done to pee inside either.  Got that one sorted now!  And cats, who can fathom them out? They sit all curled up so that you think they are asleep, then just when you get really close to give them a lick, pow, a left hook comes out so fast and hurts!!  Think I'll stay away from them.  It's nice here but I'd really like a 'proper' home.  I'd be very happy with equally cool humans, either on my own with you or with another dog to be pals with.  I don't much like being on my own, bit of a cry baby, but remember I'm still very young.  If you think you could love me just come and see me, then you'll know for sure !


 

  
The Pink Ball has come and gone so I can now reveal the name of Miss 'X......"Founder" - Found 'er, geddit? A beautiful eight month shepherd/collieX  Founder is very shy to begin with but will soon be following you around like a shadow.  Fine with other dogs Founder is vaccinated, chipped and sterilised."

 

 

  
Four year old Scoop (now Teddy) had given up all hope of being adopted when we took him from the SPA at Carcassonne where he had been for two years, and just lay sadly in his pen.  Here at Poorpaws he has transformed into a happy, friendly little chap. Fine with other dogs  - not good with cats - Teddy is vaccinated, chipped and neutered.  He would love a home with a couple where he gets regular walks and perhaps a female companion, though that is not essential !


 

  

Here is my sorrowful "please adopt me" look


You won't find a finer profile than this !
Nearly a year old Evan I still with us ! 

A very affectionate dog Evan will lick you to death given half the chance !  Neutered, chipped and vaccinated, Evan is looking for a home where he will get regular walks and lots of cuddles.

 

Fine with cats.
